UK Garage Rockers Saint Agnes Make Bold Introduction In America

In the past few months, Saint Agnes has taken the UK by storm. The fiery four-piece hailing from England has received acclaim from major publications, hailed as part of the new generation that “keep rock’s flame burning” (Classic Rock), and with many comparing their gritty garage rock, incredible showmanship and tough-as-nails attitude with The Kills, Jack White, Starcrawler and Rival Sons.

Co-fronted by enthralling frontwoman Kitty Austen (vocals/guitar/keys) and guitarist/vocalist Jon Tufnell, backed up by bassist Ben Chernett and drummer Andy Head, the band’s magnetic chemistry and catchy songwriting are making their mark in the U.S. in 2019. This month, Saint Agnes’ brand-new single “Welcome To Silvertown” has been given a good deal of attention.

“With the album, we wanted to transform everyday mundane events into moments of high drama in an attempt to better understand our own stories,” says Austen. “We wanted to magnify and illuminate certain aspects of ourselves in order to see a little more clearly, and we wanted to create narratives that people could connect with and recognize as their own battles, their own feelings.” Saint Agnes has already logged 200 shows in their native UK and continue to win over audiences with appearances at several of Europe’s biggest festivals this spring and summer.
